Halfbaked Estates

Retirement town for the halfbaked community
  (+10, -1)(+10, -1)
(+10, -1)
  [vote for,
against]

A small village, located in a nice climate, where bakers can retire to spend their later years in an atmosphere of experimentation and lunacy. Complete with community workshops for project development.

Knowing us, security could be a problem.

       I think I'm booking a place there now, provided I can chose my neighbours in advance.

       Will probably require it's own thermonuclear power station, and most likely hydraulic hookups inside homes next to ultra-grounded electric outlets.

       Retirement? I'm gonna Halfbake till I pop this mortal coil.
DrCurry, May 31 2006
  

       Well, [DrCurry], given my financial prospects I'd have to say I'm with you on that one. But it's amusing to think about the weekends in the old 'bakers community, and the kids drop off the grandkids - geared up in helmets, pads, and other forms of life support system.   

       "Now be careful on the trebuchet"...
normzone, May 31 2006
  

       Just on the outskirts of Inventor's Village, no doubt.   

       I hear the Croissant Heights neighborhood is nice. Though, depending on where you're coming from, you may have to cross through Fishbone Valley on your way there. Fishbone Valley is among the less affluent, rougher neighborhoods of the sort where the Pun Shops are most likely to be found.   

       Of course, the design of the streets and such will be poorly thought out. This will lead to plenty of traffic problems to keep the residents mentally active.

       Well, I've heard positive things about the tri-laned freeways. Although apparently there is constant reconstruction.
normzone, May 31 2006
  

       Don't drink the yellow coffee.

       //A small village//
Would we elect just ONE idiot, take turns, or what? Tell me how the hell that would that work!?
Letsbuildafort, Jun 01 2006
  

       There'd always be some newbie who hasn't read the help file coming along to fill that void.   

       I'll be wondering where jutta is hiding her "special" portrait. She never seems to age...   

       It's Custard Row for me, I think. Not so many sharp edges to hurt myself on.
Canuck, Jun 01 2006
  

       ...as long as there's a gym for saggy buns....+
xandram, Jun 01 2006
  

       You rang, [Canuck]?   

       Oh, I see you have a thermo-nuclear device to clean the pool. Gotta go!
pigtails_and_ponies, Jun 01 2006
  

       Presumably this is all going to be powered by the on-site gym.   

       Put me down for a spot, and maybe a seat on the pedants' committee.
neilp, Jun 01 2006
  

       We meet at the church hall, each Tuesday, sharp at two.
UnaBubba, Jun 01 2006
  

       I'll move from house to house and mooch of all of you.   

       "You owe me, man. I bunned that perpetual motion idea when no one else would. I thought we were friends. Well, e-friends..."
notmarkflynn, Jun 02 2006
  

       I have the feeling that we will need to find, purchase and build next to a used hydro electric dam.   

       Binary telephone numbers, gotta have those.
Sadly, the town planning committee was forced to include a paintball arena.
methinksnot, Jun 02 2006
  

       No halbakery village could be complete without:
[Dr Bob] the Builder,
Postman [Paddy Pat], or even[po] St.manpat,
[noddy], and
Fireman [Salmon of doubt].

       This is the last will and testament of [UnaBubba].   

       By these presents shall it be known that I, [UnaBubba], being of sound mind and body, hereby give, devise and bequeath the sum and entirety of my stock of ideas, annotations, quips and smartarse asides, such as they may be from time to time and at the time of the demise of my account to my faithful bun-obsessed retainer and family pet, [po], without reservation, codicil or condition. Such ownership is to pass immediately upon the finding of probate, and shall be final and binding.   

       Given under my hand, this __________ day of _________, 2_____.
  

       Winessed by _____________________   

       Full Name: _______________________   

       This __________ day of _________, 2_____.
  

       Ooops, different kind of estate?
UnaBubba, Jun 02 2006
  

       [Unabubba], the only problem I have with all of that is the [sound mind] part.
normzone, Jun 02 2006
  

       Ya takes it how ya finds it.
UnaBubba, Jun 02 2006
  

       NEWBIES for Village Idiot!!!? I'm offended! Shouldn't that position be won by election?   

       My initial platform states that if [zen_tom] doesn't move in upon retirement, he should be kidnapped and made to live in the high castle. (see, shouldn't I beat any newbie hands down?)
Zimmy, Jun 03 2006
  

       ...It's gonna have clocks, lotsa clocks. People will come from all around the world to see the clocks... lotsa clocks <stumps off, muttering to self about Farmer John's 750 ideas>
UnaBubba, Jun 03 2006
  

       That is True. Hmmm.
Zimmy, Jun 03 2006
  

       You're right, [Unabubba], tourism could be a major source of revenue for the community.
normzone, Jun 03 2006
  

       Trying hard not to imagine a Bushido Newspaper Delivery Boy threatening to murder a tourist, in TPPCPPC verse.
UnaBubba, Jun 03 2006
  

       [UB] I only see minimal references to that. Is it something like -   

       "You would have been enjoying your trip much more if you would have been thinking only to donate a small paltry sum that perhaps you might have been thinking would maybe be too large before you met me who might have been wanting to be relieving you of the 2 dollars you were thinking you probably might not have been needing.   

       I probably screwed that up royally.
Zimmy, Jun 03 2006
  

       "If she might have been taking what would have been being his photograph with what would have been being a camera he might most certainly have been killing her with what might have been being her brassiere."
